Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
In a mixing bowl combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, lime juice, reserved green chile liquid, and taco seasoning mix. Whisk till well combined.
In a 9 x 13 baking dish add enough of the sauce to coat the bottom.
In another small bowl add cheddar cheese, green chiles, and cilantro then combine all ingredients. (Add any other add ons like jalapenos or meats here.)
Spoon into tortillas, roll, and place in the baking dish. Top with remainder of the enchilada sauce, sprinkle cheese, some cilantro, and some diced up olives (if desired) over the top.
Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from oven and top with any desired garnish. Allow to cool a few minutes, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Adjust taco seasoning up or down by taste.
Add jalapenos or serranos for more heat.
Corn or flour tortillas work. For corn tortillas microwave a few seconds before handling to warm them or they will break when rolling.
